Using your Shroom Metal Table Lamp is easy. First, find a nice spot for it, like your reading nook or bedside table. Then, plug it into a power outlet. Remember to buy a Type A bulb with an E26 base as it's not included with the lamp. The maximum wattage for the LED bulb is 5 watts. When you want to turn it on or off, just use the rocker switch. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lamp to keep its matte finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the lamp. Also, make sure the cord is not pinched or damaged. And since it's UL certified, you can trust its safety. But always keep it away from water to prevent any electrical hazards.
